Germany to Hold 2027 CO2 Price at 2026 Level After EU Delay

The decision aims to provide planning certainty by aligning the national scheme with the EU’s revised timeline.

Die Euro-7-Abgasnorm reguliert erstmals auch Batterien sowie Brems- und Reifenabrieb. Deutschlands Klima-Politik macht das Tanken teurer. Dafür steigt die Pendlerpauschale und reiche Elektroauto-Fahrer werden belohnt.

Overview

  • Coalition negotiators Andreas Jung (CDU) and Esra Limbacher (SPD) agreed to extend the 55–65 €/tonne auction corridor to 2027.
  • The Environment Ministry is examining changes to the Brennstoffemissionshandelsgesetz to make the extension legally binding.
  • Germany’s fuel and heating CO2 price will shift to market-based auctions within the corridor starting in 2026.
  • ADAC estimates a €60/tonne price would add about €0.17 per litre to petrol and €0.19 to diesel in 2026, with oil-heated homes paying over €400 more per year and gas-heated homes about €300, while revenues flow into the Climate and Transformation Fund.
  • Without the agreement, household CO2 prices could have risen toward industry levels of roughly €75–80 per tonne before the EU-wide system launches in 2028.
